my back hurts

and i say to myself "as it should"! yesterday i spent 3 hours machine quilting my first larger than doll size and i hated it! my thread constantly balled up and broke. it was as if the needle was shreading it. anyway, then i spent about a half hour sewing in all the ends where the thread broke. i called it a day and got up this morning and was so excited to bind the quilt but spent 1 hour looking for my binding and i gave up. i did clean a little so that was a possitive.

the reason my back hurts is i spent 4 hours working on tops and didn't realize how long i was bent over cutting and then sitting funny to sew the pieces together. maybe laying on the floor will work out some of the kinks.

for dinner i tried to make peanut sauce. i say tried because i didn't have all the ingredients and just used what i had and hoped for the best. when james goes out of town i tend to play around with foods he will not eat.

i had a quiet thanksgiving and am looking forward to Christmas.
